JACKSON, MI – Wisner Street was closed for about an hour Tuesday, May 13, near Plaza Cinemas because a semitrailer hit a wire across a Jackson Crossing entrance and pulled down two light poles on the east side of the street.

Consumers Energy employees and Jackson firefighters were handling the situation north of Monroe Street and in front of the theater at 1700 N. Wisner St., where one pole was in the road, blocking the northbound lane, until after noon. Firefighters were called to the scene about 11:30 a.m., Capt. Jason Senft said.

As of about 12:30 p.m., utility workers remained on the street, but the road was no longer closed.

Senft said he believed it was an AT&T line the tractor-trailer hit near the Sears entrance and officials were waiting for the communications company to arrive.

No one was hurt, and the semitrailer was not damaged.

The stretch between Monroe and Boardman Road was marked with yellow tape, preventing vehicles from entering the area, and some drivers were cutting through the movie theater or mall parking lot to get around the downed poles.
